V for Vandetta

             In Alan Moore and David Lloyd's V for Vandetta, The main character, V, committed different crimes and murdered several people in order to create a revolution to change society.  V's motive of killing the people might not really be clear, whether it is what he thinks is the only way to free the country or for revenge since most of the people he murdered were people involved in the  Larkhill resettlement camp where he was kept in.  Although V's possible reason of doing such horrible crimes was to be able to liberate the country from the hands of corrupt and evil people, the methods he used to accomplish his goals were wrong.  V did not have to end several lives in order to make a change but could have instead just punished them and try to make them change their ways because everyone can have a good side in them but it is just hidden.  By using violence to make a change, V sets a bad example to other people who might think that using violence towards other people is justifiable as long as it is for the right reasons. 

            Some of the parts that caught my attention while reading and looking at the pictures is when Mr Finch reports about the event that happened in the Larkhill resettlement camp from Dr. Surridge's diary.  Instead of just trying to imagine how the camp looks like and how the events might have occurred, the images helped me better picture and understand what happened.  It was able to clearly show the fear and panic of the people in the pictures, giving the reader more emotions towards what was happening in the book and gets them to be more engaged in it.  Another part is when V was about to kill the bishop by feeding him the wafer.  The image of the bishop kneeling shows his submission for V and his expression shows his fear.  This shows that maybe V did not have to kill the bishop or even the other people because before he even killed them, their fear already caused them to submit to him.
